Details
The default font on Firefox OS doesn't cover all the South African languages. 10 glyphs necessary for Venda (ve) is not there. We're not currently targeting that language, but since we are targeting South Africa, I think it would be good if others can correctly view names, for example (Venda people will probably have to use the English UI, but might still want to see the characters correctly displayed). Here is a list of the characters, as shown in the table on http://salanguages.com/tshivenda/characters.htm Latin capital D with circumflex below Ḓ 1E12 Latin small letter D with circumflex below ḓ 1E13 Latin capital L with circumflex below Ḽ 1E3C Latin small letter L with circumflex below ḽ 1E3D Latin capital N with dot below Ṅ 1E46 Latin small letter N with dot below ṅ 1E47 Latin capital N with circumflex below Ṋ 1E4A Latin small letter N with circumflex below ṋ 1E4B Latin capital T with circumflex below Ṱ 1E70 Latin small letter T with circumflex below ṱ 1E71 Arky, Chris Hofmann recommended that I CC you for input. Any idea how to go ahead with this?

Thanks for flying this bug, Friedel. Let me bring Patryk Adamczyk into this conversation as well. Patryk, Do you we have any definite road plans for covering all South African locales in the default Fira.

We are designing those glyphs right now, should be done in Q1. I'll take this bug and mark it fixed when we have a patch ready.

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]: Many locales in Africa are going to ship soon, on 2.0 (see mana for details https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/PM/Firefox+OS+Wave+Launch+Cross+Functional+View) Given the dates we've heard from Bus Dev, any work needed should be ready soon. Any ETA on this please? Also, nominating for 2.0.

[Triage] For partner working with FxOS 2.0, TAM has communicated to them to handle "languages other then what are already supported in FxOS 2.0" by their own, so this will not block 2.0. De-mon it from 2.0.

This should already be resolved by Fira v.4.002 which landed in master. I will mark this a duplicate of the bug that is insuring Fira lands on 2.0.
